Podcast appearances and mentions of Sylas K Barrett

In honor of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, I've rewritten my 2018 episode about Doctor Who with updates on how the series has evolved, and new insights I've had about Doctor Who since I made this episode -- and since The Doctor has become one of my personal favorite characters. Media critic Emmet Asher-Perrin explains how the history of The Doctor's regenerations over 60 years is a story about an alien being who is striving to be better but keeps overshooting the mark. I talk with Emmet's partner Sylas K. Barrett and comedian Riley Silverman about how The Doctor's gender transitions have been an apt metaphor for the transgender experience. Also, Nick Randall of the BBC and SNS Online, historian Robin Bunce, and playwright Mac Rogers talk about the show's significance culturally, and what it means to them as fans.
